2.0 out of 5 stars
just read the review... ;-),
By "topaze15" (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cruise Ship Jobs : The Insiders Guide To Finding And Getting Jobs On Cruise Ships Around The World (Paperback)
This book is sort of false advertising, I think. It is subtitled "The Insider's Guide to Finding and Getting Jobs on Cruise Ships Around the World." It should instead be called "A dictionary listing of all the jobs available on cruise ships, a list of the addresses of all the cruise ships, plus 2 whole chapters on working as an entertainer on a cruise ship."For me, this book did not open the gates of mystery to helping me envision life on board a cruise ship, although it did address it. It also did not really tell me how I should apply for the jobs, how I should prepare myself for such a job, what are the secrets to getting a job. It tried to cover all the information in a few short pages. Overall the information was too general. The only subset of employees it addresses with any depth is entertainers - especially musicians. An overview of the chapters: 1- "Working on a cruise ship" briefly addresses some particulars of the cruise ship industry, such as what flag they fly under and why. 2- "Who's Who on Board the Ship" A short paragraph describing most job titles, from "Captain" to "Snorkling Instructor" to "Radio Officer" to "Youth Counselor". 3- "Show Biz on the High Seas" - The chapter that would have made this book useful to me if I were a musician. Tells you about life as an entertainer on a cruise ship and how to apply. 4- "Entertainment Agencies" addresses 5- "Concessions" some addresses for beauty salon & fitness, boutique & gift shop, photography, casino, lecturers, scuba & snorkeling, bridge instructor, and gentleman host workers. 6- "Cruise line directory" Addresses of most if not all cruise lines, including some specific instructions for applying for certain jobs. 7- "Life on Board" answers basic questions like "will I have to share a cabin?" and "Can I receive mail?"

This review is from: Cruise Ship Jobs : The Insiders Guide To Finding And Getting Jobs On Cruise Ships Around The World (Paperback)
All the reviewers are 100% right that this so called "book" is complete wasting of time and money. If you are also entertainer my advice is to buy Cruise Ship job in 14 Days. It helped me to get a job in 15 days and after 1 week I am flying to Fort Lauderdale to join one of Carnival's cruise ships.
